Is driving in Winter safe?

Driving a vehicle in the Winter months is more difficult than in other times of the year. Colder weather and darker days make driving a car, van, or lorry tough work.

Sometimes extreme weather can occur during a journey - such as heavy snow or flooding. It's important you provide your employees with Winter driving tips and advice for them to follow when they're driving to and from work, or if driving is part of their job.

For example if you own a haulage or logistics firm, your employees may face different extreme weather conditions throughout their journey across the country, so by giving them advice for Winter driving before they set off - you are showing a duty of care.
